Wow, how exciting to hear back on my post!
llurpsienoodle - you really got me thinking. I don't know 'why now'. It's such a good question. I sense that there is an answer somewhere inside me.
Dinah - thanks so much for your comment about trust. I guess that is it. I'm probably always going to feel like the next step out will be the one that will change everything. So far, my T is nothing but consistent. I just have so much fear...
antigua - I had a big reaction to your post (which gives me a lot of information, so THANK YOU). At first I thought, no way, that's not it at all. But then I got thinking. I don't know about my own mother, but certainly there were older female adults in my life that I had huge attachments to and crushes on from an early age. Your question makes me think of one in particular who played very much a second mother role in my life during my grade school years. I use to fantasize about her... Hmmm... I'm going to have to look at this some more for sure!
no_rose_garden - thanks too for posting! And welcome also. What a great group!
